Re: Outside Lands 2014

My favorite thread every year! cant wait for my 6th straight year at this fest! as for headliners i think this is the year that OSL brings the BOSS to the polo fields. Will we finally see a hip hop headliner?

Re: Outside Lands 2014

Thanks for getting this started again IcedKeg. I was hoping you would be the one to get it going since you did such a good job last year keeping on top of things.

I'm already excited for another OSL. Last year's was pretty great with some of the best shows that I saw all year happening back to back (The National into Macca was definitely a highlight).

I do think that the Boss is finally due and feels like the right main headliner for this fest. While I don't think they would do a Hip hop headliner, Eminem, or better yet, OutKast would be a pretty strong headliner. Although, I guess they did have The Beastie Boys as a headliner before they had to cancel.

Looking forward to having pointless arguments with Bumblebee about which headliners OSL can afford and why so and so wouldn't be playing OSL.

yeah, I'm pretty sure they haven't. and if I do make it up there again, we will definitely catch a set together this time. I mean, it was cool hanging out at the house, but we didn't even see 1 set together!

Re: Outside Lands 2014

I feel like Robert Plant might make an appearance this year. I hear he might be hitting up some festivals this year, and I know he played the Greek last year so just throwing that out there. I don't think he would be a headliner but definitely a strong subheadliner with an extended set. He was awesome at Hardly Strictly a few years ago.

He was just confirmed as one of the first 4 artists for Summer Sonic a week after our theorized OSL dates. Seems like a good bet.

Nice to know that it is more of a possibility than a hunch. I guess that would mean that Arctic Monkeys might be a possibility too since they are at Summer Sonic and I think the last time they played OSL was in 2011.

Re: Outside Lands 2014

Awesome. Thanks for reviving this. Last year was my first year at OLS and it pushed me over the edge to move west from CO to the city.

I would love the Boss, Robert Plant (maybe with Patty Griffin?) and Cut Copy to be there.

Some other bands I could see playing are Disclosure, Generationals, STRFKR, London Grammar, St Lucia, Wye Oak, Papa, and any other acts with new albums who are playing the area earlier this year.

Other headliners/subs could be Beck, Modest Mouse, Kendrick Lamar, My Morning Jacket, the Roots? Feels like the plausibility of Outkast will be apparent once the Coachella lineup drops and they release some dates.

Re: Outside Lands 2014

After the '14 lineup dropped, I was relieved to have OLS as well. May also just let myself be surprised and not try to speculate too much with who will be playing come August.

Yeah, I was talking to my wife about that too. The Chella line-up while solid, has a bunch of acts that I've seen before. OSL does a much better job about not repeating bands and haven't repeated a headliner yet. Last year I was able to see a bunch of bands that I haven't seen before including legends like Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, and Hall & Oates. Well, we should be getting a line-up right around the time of the first weekend of Coachella, so only three more months.
